Alastair
Reynold’s 2016 Revenger
is
a standalone SF novel.

Eager
to escape her foolish father and his incredibly creepy associate
Doctor Morcenx, teenaged Adrana Ness talks her way onto Captain
Rackamore’s light-sail spacecraft. Rather than abandon her younger
sister Fura to Morcenx, Adrana convinces her sister to accompany her
into deepest space in search of freedom and fortune.

Slow Bullets —
Alastair Reynolds

Alastair Reynolds may be best known for his series, such as the Revelation Space novels or the Poseidon’s Children books. However, he can also work in less expansive formats. 2015’s Slow Bullets is a standalone novella, one that fits nicely into my MilSF review series.
